Madden 19 Program Stars Launches in Ultimate Team With Alan Page, Julio Jones Among New Cards
Madden Ultimate Team launched a brand new event called Program Stars on Monday (June 3) as part of the offseason content. The first batch of 99 overall player cards includes one which gamers have been asking for quite a bit. The Minnesota Vikings’ Alan Page finally has an upgraded card. In addition, there’s Atlanta Falcons receiver Julio Jones and 10 other Program Heroes to look for. Here are the latest details on who all is included and how Madden 19 Program Stars works.
10 Madden 19 Program Stars cards arrive including Page, Jones
The first wave of Madden 19 Program Stars cards includes a total of 10 players with 99 OVR cards. Amongst them are star players such as the Atlanta Falcons’ Julio Jones and Jacksonville Jaguars’ Leonard Fournette. However, the one card many gamers were asking for on Twitter and in the EA Madden Twitch chat was Alan Page. Ask and you shall receive!
The Page Program Stars card (below) brings 99s for Play Recognition and Finesse Moves, as well as 97 Tackle and 97 Block Shedding. The best part is, it’s a Power Up card so gamers can make Page even better for their Ultimate Team.
The Program Stars reveal also showed off cards for the Eagles’ Brandon Graham, Broncos’ Champ Bailey, Jags’ Fournette, Chiefs’ Mitchell Schwarz, and Packers’ Jimmy Graham. There’s also Buffalo Bills player Micah Hyde amongst the group of 10 player cards revealed.
One other batch of player cards includes the Detroit Lions’ Matthew Stafford, Baltimore Ravens Terrell Suggs, Cowboys’ Tyron Smith and Raiders’ Jack Tatum. All of these cards are 99 OVRs with Power Up on the front, making them a welcome addition for MUT gamers.

Many of the new Program Stars player cards are already popping up within the Ultimate Team Auction House. We’ve seen Alan Page cards hit the market with prices ranging from 365,000 Coins to near 400,000 Coins. So far, there is now serious bidding action on the Page cards just yet as gamers realize they can acquire the card on their own. Read on for exactly how that works.
How the new Ultimate Team event works
The way the new Madden 19 Program Stars event works is similar to the previous event Position Heroes. Gamers can play solo challenges in Ultimate Team to acquire Tokens. Those Tokens are used in Sets which can be used to acquire a choice of one of the 99 OVR Program Stars players.
Just for logging into Ultimate Team, gamers are going to get a Program Stars Welcome Pack. That includes an 85 OVR Julio Jones card. Use it for your Madden Ultimate Team, or consider selling it off if you don’t have a need for that player card.
From there, head into the Solo Challenges screen and choose Program Stars. It features a total of 13 challenges to begin with starting with one that involves the Falcons’ Julio Jones. The reward for completing the moment is 200 Coins and a Silver Item. Completing all of these challenges results in 6,500 Coins and Tokens to put into a Set.
Of course, there’s always the Auction House as mentioned above. If you’ve got the coins available in your account consider skipping the grind and heading there to place a bid or “buy now” so you can get that player card you want most.
The latest event certainly gives fans a way to satisfy that football craving as the Madden 20 game is just under two months away!
